Most Durable – Natural Stone
If you want something durable, check out natural stone. Natural stone is cut into slabs and is a very hard material. When choosing natural stone, tiles over 24″x24″ can be difficult to install in small kitchens. Save this material for if you have a fairly large space to cover.
Most Cost Effective – Tile
Most people choose tile for their kitchen flooring because it is cost-effective. Tile gives you a huge variety of choices, and you can vary patterns for an even more unique look.
Easiest to Maintain – Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury vinyl plank is different than laminate as it is more durable and waterproof, making it suitable for a kitchen. If you are lucky, you can leave your existing floor and install vinyl planking on top of it, saving you labor costs. Like tile, vinyl plank comes in a variety of color options to suit just about any taste.
